can lead to danger from electric shock.

1. Ventilate the room for about 15 minutes
and leave the room during that time
along with all other persons.
2. Avoid cutting injuries and skin contact.
For example, put on disposable gloves.

broken pieces and lamp residues using
a cardboard.

using a moist paper towel or adhe-
sive tape.

ing performed the preliminary cleaning
described above. Then clean the floor
nozzle with moist paper towels. Dis-

slightly soiled textiles on the surface,
using, for example, adhesive tape.

ders in an air-tight sealed vessel. Dis-
